018 and .014 catheters. ChromaFlo imaging is automatically co-registered with grayscale IVUS, allowing full observation of plaque burden, calcium, and the vessel wall. ChromaFlo works with Philips ...

A large plaque burden at baseline ... Measurement of coronary plaque volume by IVUS is much less sensitive to effects of therapy, because coronary plaques, being diffuse, do not have a proximal ...

They then assessed the ability of two IVUS-based techniques—palpography and plaque ultrasonography—to identify high-risk atherosclerotic plaques in patients referred for percutaneous coronary ...

IVUS imaging helps physicians assess disease markers, including plaque burden percentage, lesion location and morphology, calcium volume, and the presence of thrombus. It also provides analysis of ...

which makes IVUS a more promising tool for better quantification and detection of changes in the whole atherosclerotic burden of a given patient, [24] although no comparative study between these ...
